Remote Acquaintance

Goldsmith wrote OF a certain pre-.
tentious woman
1.-THE King himself has followed her,
When she has walked before"
The following incident reminds one Of
the woman. A lady intimated that she
was personally acquainted with the
poet, Henry w. Longfellow.
"When did you meet him2" asked
friend.
"Oh,-I--I," was the somewhat con.
fused reply, "I-that is, l didn't ex-
actly meet him myself but walked
out OF church one day with woman
who had met him, and she told me all
about him."
Her degree OF acquaintanceship was
about equal to that of woman who
felt that ste "really knew the Queen"
A foreign minister was once per-
suaded, against his better judgment,
to introduce a countrywoman at the
Court of one OF the continental ma
tions. II is not part of an Ameri-
can minister's duty to act as social
sponsor for ambitious nobodies, or to
introduce at court people who do not
know how to behave when they
get there. But the Queen received the
woman kindly, and the matter prom
ised to end well, when imagine the
minister's horror on hearing, in reply
to the Queens courteous greeting, the
woman say, ~ really feel as il had
known you long time. You know

Mr.. Benson felt an unaccountable
huskiness in his throat.
Why should this story, told by an
ignorant, unlettered woman affect
him in such manner? He leaned
toward her and said;
"Well, 90 on"
"Thar amt much mo- to tell. They

While she had been talking, the
dawn had crept noiselessly over the
earth. 1t showed the gray river
sweeping along under the grayer sky;
the dreary winds swaying the moss
like funeral wreaths; the cypress trees
standing to their knees in the water;
the last waning moonbeams stealing
across the hill tops.
Coloriess, devoid OF light, of every
thing that can make life worth living,
was this life, passed in this dreary
wilderness; passed in heroic self-sacrl-
fee, whose extent she herself did not
comprehend!
But the man who listened to her,
his eyes moist with unusual tears. felt
that his fine.spun theories OF differ
ences in human nature were swept
away as though they had been cob
webs.

RETURN OF hon. s. @. WILDER
With a Large Scheme n Hand---Pro-
jected Railway on Hawaii---His
London Experience.


Among the expected passengers who
arrived by the steamship Australia yes
terday was the Hon. S. G. Wilder, re-
turning home from business trip to
London. The HERALD representative
meant to have intruded upon the hon.
gentleman at his home, after giving
him time for rest after his long jour
ney, but in the course Of the regular
daily visit to the office of the Wilder
Steamship Company found the re-
turned President of that corporation
already immersed in business. Hav-
ing greeted Mr.. Wilder before he
landed from the steamer, the inter
viewer was ready to come to the point
at once, as circumstances demanded.

"Well, | believe that the railroad will

"You have brought a civil engineer

"From Hilo to Waipio Valley"
"About what distance p"
Seventy miles"
"The idea is to have the sugar raised
in that section all shipped at Hilop"
"That is it"
In response to other enquiries, Mr..
Wilder stated that he had enjoyed the
journey very much all the way round;
that the fog was so thick in London
that be could hardly see his hand be-
fore him, and that to our visitor from
this tropic cline it was bitterly cold

Mr. Wilder looks hale and hearty
after his prolonged exposure to all sorts
Of strange climates and weatbers. 1t
may be proper to explain that the
above purports to be only the sub
stance Of the necessarily brief inter
view, precipitated as it was on both
sides in the midst of other pressing

Kaun,akapili Chimes.

Honolulu for the first time expert
enced the pleasure of listening to a
tower chime of bells yesterday fore
noon. The chimes imported by Messrs.
f. o. Hall & Son for Kaumakapili
Church (native), having been placed in
position, Mr.. Wray Taylor, organist OF
st. Andrews Cathedral, briefly tested
their notes There were some errors
of adjustment discovered, and these
being set right Mr.. Taylor gave pro
longed performance on the bells
last evening, dispensing their sweet
notes in many popular tunes over the
city. One or two of them seemed to
be out of tune, but if so the faults can
be remedied by scraping or filling as
required. The large tower bell was
also rung at intervals, proving it to
have deep, rich tone and to be a
welcome addition to the "bells, bells,

Special Dispatch TO the Indian Chief,sln.
TAHLEouAH, Dec. 7.-As inti-
mated in latest correspondence, a
crisis was reached in the chief en-
broglio to-day. In the Downing
caucus held last night it was re-
solved to indrct Mayes and Smith
into Office. About p. m. to-day
Mayes with probably 100 men as
an escort started to the executive
Office TO take the oath as chief.
The door of the executive depart
ment was locked and Bushyhead
refused 10 surrender the office.
The door was kicked open and the
crowd entered and informed Bushy-
head thst he was relieved of the
responsibility of the place. He
replied that he would not surren-
der except by force. He was told
that force would be used if. neces-
sary. There is much excitement
though no demonstration of an
armed conflict. C. S. Shelton,
clerk Of Delaware district, admin
istered the oath OF office. No
count Of votes has been made.
